Good evening,
I'm trying to configure gcc 3.4.5 to be cross compiler with i686 as
host and powerpc-wxworks (with altivec support) as target.
I'm working under msys and I'm using the mingws's compiler (gcc
3.4.2).
I have lunched configure command as:

../configure --with-gcc --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ar
--enable-threads  --target=powerpc-vxworks --enable-language=c,c++
--enable-altivec  --disable-install-libiberty --without-headers

The configure command generates a Makefile, and the report is the
follow:

creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i686-pc-mingw32
checking target system type... powerpc-wrs-vxworks
checking build system type... i686-pc-mingw32
checking for a BSD compatible install... /bin/install -c
*** This configuration is not supported in the following
subdirectories:
     target-libiberty
    (Any other directories should still work fine.)

When I lunch "make" command, there are a great number of warning
as:

It sounds as the vxWorks configuration isn't correct!
Have you any idea or suggests?

Thanks
